About The Children Who Cheated the Nazis
A documentary about the decisions parents made in evacuating their children out of harm's way (the Nazis), and being forced to stay behind, the parents realize that this may possibly be the last time they will see their loved ones.
Directed by Sue Read, The Children Who Cheated the Nazis leans on a strong ensemble — Richard Attenborough, Charlotte Chinn, Hayley Creasey — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2000.
